[nagdu] being reported to your school

Actually I was there and no matter how many times we tried to get him to 
leave his do ghome or to not drink so much he didn't listen.  My dog was 
being puppy sat for the evening and I wasn't drinking.  We ended up 
avoiding him while we were out and then ended up on the same bus home.  
We were walking in a group behind him when he stumbled his way to the 
apartment complex and threw up.

this is not a personal issue I know that this person is only concerned 
with himself.  I just love the dog and as a raiser and handler to see a 
dog being treated in this manner breaks my heart.  I can only think that 
I hope none of the puppies i help raise end up in these kinds of 
situations.  Is this wrong, because you are making it sound wrong... 
maybe I'm missing something.
